fathers tim othy o'shea and william griffin father griffin who was asleep in the parish house adjoining the church whi^'h is one of the wealthiest lu the city was awakened by the breaking of glass open ing a window he saw two men standing just outside the church on being asked what they wanted one of them replied we are here father for holy unction both get revolvers assuring them that he would come right down father griffin aroused father o'shea and armed with revolvers they started for the church on nearing the men father o'shea leveled his revolver at them nnd ordered them to throw up their hands one of the burglars did ar ordered the other started to run turning over the captured burglar to father griffin father o'shea gave chase the burglar who had been turned over to father griffin showed fight when father o'shea started in pursuit of the fleeing burglar dowering his hands he aimed a vicious blow at the priest the latter grasped bim by the arm and a des perate struggle followed in which the burglar was knocked down and two teeth knocked out priest lodes fugitive meanwhile father o'shea w : bo bad lost sight of his quarry returned the police were notified and the burglar wns taken to the fiftieth street station and lacked np he said his name was thomas moran twenty-seven years old and that he had been in Chicago two days . he said he met his partner at a lodging house on van buren street near harrison and that they were on their way to dalton l to rob a drug store when they stopped at the church he refused to reveal the identity of his companion raymond crowley son of owen crow ley janitor of the church later found a tahlecloth containing about 800 worth of silverware lying just inside the church door the burglars had ransacked the dining-room of the klaryland hotel 139 oakwood avenue ai i secured the booty crowley also found . package containing two large alÂ£ar candl holders and two gold crucifixes which the burglars left behind predict capture of other burglar the police nelieve they have made an important capture and efforts are being made to identify the burglar it is also believed his identification will lead to the capture of hls companion the attempted robbery of holy angels church follows closely the one made at the corpus christi church fiftieth street and grand boulevard when efforts to rob the poor box were frustrated by pastor james k fielding the battle between father griffin and the captured burglat was thrilling the men struggled all over the parish lawn and it was with the greatest difficulty that the robber was reduced to submission i was awak<!hed from a sound sleep by the breaking of glass said father griffin afterward thinking that an explosion of some kind bad occurred i raised the window and looked out seeing the men by the side of the church it dawned upou me that they were burglars breaking glass gives alarm this was confirmed when they replied to my query that they were after holy unction it was impossible to get a good description of the man who escaped on account of the darkness but for the accident which caused the breaking of the glass it is very probable they would have robbed the church of its valuables besides getting away with the stolen booty from the maryland hotel father o'shea chased the burglar who escaped for five or six blocks he lost sight of him when he turned into an alley and probably passed through a back gate onto another street Chicago gains in health only 5u3 die bt week ii decrease for tills season health department statistics show
